How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Fleas are small wingless jumping insect that feeds on the blood of cats or dogs. It sometimes transmits disease through its bite, including plague and myxomatosis. If a flea jumps onto your pet, it will start feeding within 5 minutes and might suck blood for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. There are tips and monitoring we should do on how to spot signs if your pet experiencing suffering from fleas and how to get rid of these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas at home or your pets have one:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully take a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

In fact, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas as soon as you catch sight of them. However, if they keep coming back, then that is a sign you have to completely remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can provide the most suitable and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring quite trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially when previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets could also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can consume 15 times their own weight every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that they can see in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance to pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you keep a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, also. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic thing, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a crucial step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (ideally at 50°c or above).

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you should talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
